'Nation's Attics All Mined' Says Collector; Junk Left By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) The golden days of the nation's attics are ended. . Their cob-webby corners once were a figurative gold mine for the antiques experts. And a rainy afternoon spent rummag ing through their recesses usual ly produced something .worthy of gracing the downstairs hall or the local museum. "But most attics are just filled with junk now," said Mrs. Edith who collects American folk art. "There's little genuine art un discovered. Therf are so many antique shows around the coun try, everybody's attic conscious. They've cleaned 'em out." Mrs. Halpert, a widow and in her words "a frustrated artist," explained that antiques and folk art aren't necessarily the same. Art, as she talks of it, refers to the sculpture, the drawings and paintings of our ancestors, not necessarily their furniture, china and, glassware. Weathervanes, figureheads for ships, and early carvings on tombstones come under the heading of sculpture. Mrs. Hal- pert said some of the most beau tiful art to be found anywhere, in any age, comes from the de signs our great-great-grandpar-ents used to decorate family records in the Bible. Our ancestors apparently never thought their works would live through future generations. They rarely bothered to sign them. "Which," said Mrs. Halpert wryly, "is different from today's .artist. He 'signs his name be fore he's through dabbing paint." Some of America's best early artists were women. They paint ed still life scenes or portraits on velvet, silk, or glassware. Or, they -painted mourning scenes. "Our ancestors looked on death happily," Mrs. Halpert ex plained. "It meant a release from hardship. And it was the fash ion to paint a scene of mourning, completing it only after some member of the family died so his or. her name could be .added." American folk art began to deteriorate in . the mid 1800's, Mrs. Halpert said. The daguer reotype came in about then, so it no longer : was necessary to paint family portraits. - And re productions of European art were available, and - "home made" art no longer was popu lar. : .. .. Mrs. Halpert, one-of the first to recognize that some Ameri cana was artistic and not just quaint, said she still looks for old works, although she believes most of the great ones already have been found. But if you're organizing a Halpert-helping pilgrimage to your attic this minute, her ad vice is: "Don't. My attic is full of junk seosle already have sent me!" -4 -To give fried chicken a gold en brown crust, use paprika with the salt, pepper and flour in which you roll the pieces before adding them to hot fat. Radiators should not be paint ed with dark or metallic paints. Use light-colored wall paint to get more heat from them. WHO CAN HELP YOUR HEARING?

Checks TeUGhl's Progress at College Ripley, Tenn. (U.R) Mr. and Mrs. Hal Wilson hear how their daughter is doing in col lege by checks. When the daughter, June. 17, writes a check, she jots a little note .on the back telling her par ents how she is getting along at Memphis State College, Mrs. Wilson is a bookkeeper in the Bank of Ripley, and gets the cancelled checks. Whenever one comes in, she .calls her hus band to come by and read the note. - June seldom writes regular letters, but her parents hear from her quite regularly. It seems that it takes quite a few checks for a girl to go to college. " When carpets and rugs are cleaned often and thoroughly, dust and dirt are removed be fore any serious harm can be done by them. BEWARE Of IMITATIONS LOOK f Oft THE HAPPY UTTLE DOG tfCfPPt IPdDifipaDiniiriPi If you hate to get out of your cozy bed on these dark, cold winter mornings, try the advice of Dr. G. K. Selborne, London physician. Dr. Selborne has three or four little rules set the alarm for the time you want to get up (not 20 minutes early so you can lay there and laugh at the clock the clock doesn't care) then when the bell rings don't panic, but stretch your legs, wiggle your toes (this is very important, says the doctor) and then just get up. Oh, yes, order your life so your're hungry in the morning, adds the doctor. That will help hurry you to the kitchen. .; Wondering how they could create the impression of spring inside the country clubhouse last Sunday for the annual open house, members of the Women's Golf association decided on butter flies. With bits of crepe paper and some paint, the women made dozens of big colorful butterflies and fastened them to branches.' So with the warmth? good food and color inside, it didn't matter so much that the clammy fog hung like a pall over, most of the valley. WGA members who helped with the serving for this party wore pretty little white organdy aprons over their cocktail dresses. Mrs. Ray Larson not only made all the aprons, but stenciled them with green letters. Royal Bebb, one of the husbands who helped tend bar, was all dressed up for the occasion. With his grey suit he wore a gay plaid vest which was one of his Christmas gifts. The talk was on food, fashion and friends when the women congregated in little clumps. Mrs. Homer Marx, wearing a clever little black feathered hat which she said she created herself, de scribed a chicken Creole dish which sounded wonderful, and learned the latest news about the Don Zeises and their daughter, Priscilla, from Mrs.. Fred Carr. Colonel Zeis, currently in Texas, has been ordered to Germany. Daughter Prissy is a student at the University of Denver. League of Women Voters had an extra stir of activity last week because of Mrs. K. E. Montgomery, who came down from Eugene as a visiting state board member. Hashing over league accomplishments and problems at a dinner Tuesday night, Mrs. Justin Smith recalled that the league studied the city manager system, in effect here since the beginning of the year, several years ago, with members concluding it would be an efficient sys tem for Medford and talking it up ever since. The discussion and business continued next day around Mrs. Paul Janney's big dining room table. (Mrs. J. didn't have to depend upon make-believe butterflies for a touch of spring she. had pots of tiny yellow daffodils and of African violets in bloom.) Mrs. Harlan Bosworth was one of the leaguers present and while they discussed such matters as coming league events, surveys of such institutions as schools and courts, Mrs. B. was quiet as a mouse about her visit to a" certain court the next day. She wasn't going just to observe either, for Mrs. Bosworth had run afoul of the law while driving to the meeting and was cited for failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. The dutiful officer wasn't interested in the fact that Mrs. B. was having car trouble and had rolled by the sign, on a street empty of traffic, while struggling with the half-frozen machinery. When Mr. Bosworth and son David learned that Mrs. B. had to appear in traffic court, they comforted her by singing a doleful breakfast-table song about spending the next hundred years in jail. Marie Bosworth may have a little blot on her driving record now, but on the other side of the ledger are years of intelligent, conscientious civic-minded service to her community, political party and church. While living in Klamath Falls several years ago, she was named Zonta club Woman of the Year for outstanding civic achievement. Potpourri knows scores of women in Jackson county who work with the Girl Scouts and .sitting across the desk from two of them, Mrs. Michele Rossi and Mrs. Scott Davis one day last week, we wondered how anyone, even the American Legion in Illinois, could question the motives and patriotism of these women who lead the Girl Scout movement. But they did, and are now boasting of the fact that they forced national leaders to change the Girl Scout Handbook in several places and take out all mention or references to international cooperation. After suffering under the criticism of the Illinois Legion for several months, Girl Scout ieaders are gradually coming to the conclusion, we hear, that what seemed like a calamity has actually been in their favor. For throughout the nation leading newspaper and magazine editors have come to the defense of the Girl Scouts This week the Eugene Register-Guard joined this group and printed the following editorial: "Don't worry, mother. When your little daughter is old enough to be a Brownie Scout, she won't be subverted. The Girl Scouts of America, at the behest of the Illinois American Legion, have rewritten the more dangerous portions of the handbook that 2,000,000 girls use in their quest for badges. There are 46 changes in the new book. Two of them serve to illustrate how the Girl Scouts are retreating from wrong thinking. "Remember the old passage said, 'You are preparing yourself tor worm citizensmp?' well, the new book gets rid of that sort of talk. Instead, it says, 'You are preparing yourself to be a friend to au.' ' "And remember the passage in which the friends-to-all were asked to 'Make up a quiz game on the U.' N.?' That's been fixed to require that the friends 'Make up a quiz game on the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.' That change apparent ly saiisiiea tne region, but doesn't satisfy us. We still question the wisaom oi leuing lime girls know that there's a. world," PeODle in all narbl ftf the wnrlri nsM tinmair .Tanusmr 1A Albert Schweitzer one of the world's leading citizens who was 80 years old that day. As a theologian, great organist, philosopher, physician and misionary, this man has brought a wealth of understanding and knowledge to his universe. ' This remarkable person lived for science and art until he was 30 and since then has given his time to relieving the suffering of African natives, serving as their physician and friend. At 30 Al bert Schweitzer was one of the finest organists in Europe and principal of the Theological college of St. Thomas at Strasbourg. He left this life, studied medicine and went to Africa . This deeply religious man has a vast reverence for all life, be lieves that one must go .from rational thought to mystical thought In order to understand life, and as for the physical life, says "if you keep working you will get younger every day."
